Presidential Library:
Presidential Libraries Act of 1955. ... In each case, funds from private and non-federal public sources provided the funds to build the library. Once completed, the private organization turned over the libraries to the National Archives and Records Administration to operate and maintain.
This is going to be tricky on several fronts. Individual 1 has proven himself very skilled at raising funds (Scam charity in his name, and out-sized donations to his inauguration). However these funds have been, well, let's just say, misspent. On a more positive note, once Individual 1 is a former president, the pool of likely donors will contract bigly and the amounts gifted by his remaining loyalists will be in line with his value as a private (and we pray, indicted) individual. Second, with the exception of a rich trove of tweets, a large archive of fawning and dishonest "interviews" by a captive TV network, and a few begrudging interviews by the enemy, there will be little that can or should be saved for posterity. It is my fervent hope we have *TWICE elected a post-literate president.
Presidential Aphorisms:
Our country has a rich history of wit and wisdom from the previous 44. Not a bad run. Here President Kennedy would have us ask: what we can do for our country?. We can craft alternate versions of the things Individual 1 actually said! I will jump start this urgent endeavor with a few based on famous former non-alternate aphorisms. And in the spirit of #45, I will start by cribbing what others have said better.
